Description

I'm experiencing this issue with a Mac, which was not occurring until recently.

Beeline version 2.2.0-SNAPSHOT by Apache Hive
beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000
Connecting to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000
Enter username for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000: hive
Enter password for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000:
Enter password for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000:
Enter password for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000:
...

The 'Enter password for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000:' line continues to print until enter is hit. From looking at the code in Commands.java (lines 1413-1420), it's not quite clear why this happens on the second call to readLine()) :

if (username == null) {
  username = beeLine.getConsoleReader().readLine("Enter username for " + url + ": ");
}
props.setProperty("user", username);
if (password == null) {
  password = beeLine.getConsoleReader().readLine("Enter password for " + url + ": ",
      new Character('*'));
}
